At Legacy FC 47, Bantamweight C.J. Hamilton made quick work of Brantley Furr with a TKO coming at just :20 of round 1. Middleweight Dave Vitkay continued his impressive win streak with a win over Wesley Barnes via TKO (doctor stoppage) at the end of round 2. In the main event Featherweight Jordan Rinaldi defeated Clay Harvison via rear naked choke at 4:31 of round 2.

Two titles were on the line at WSOF 24. The first was for the inaugural Flyweight belt which saw Magomed Bibulatov earn a unanimous decision over Donavon Frelow. Lightweight Nick Newell got back on track with a unanimous decision win against Tom Marcellino. Following his victory, Newell announced his retirement. Blagoi Ivanov successfully defended his Heavyweight belt for the first time with a TKO win over Derrick Mehmen that came at 4:33 of round 2. The main event saw Welterweight Jon Fitch outwork Yushin Okami in the wrestling and grappling department for a unanimous decision win. The win grants Fitch a shot at the championship against fellow Welterweight Jake Sheilds.

Former UFC Bantamweight champion Renan Barao is rumored to be moving up to Featherweight.

ONE Championship will unify their Featherweight titles when Jadamba Narantungalag takes on Marat Gafurov at ONE Championship 35 in November.
